How do I serialize (encode) and unserialize (decode) an arbitrary
elisp object (code or data) to and from disk/network etc?
Can I use other format than the symbolic one?
Thanks in advance,
Per Nordlöw

(defun encode-to-string (object) (prin1-to-string object))
(defun decode-from-string (string) (read-from-string string))
Now, of course, this works only for objects that are printable
readably.

Yes, but you will have to implement the serializer yourself.
